Love Hate & Then Theres You

Highly anticipated 2009 release of The Von Bondies' third studio album. Now in their ninth year together, guitarist/vocalist Jason Stollsteimer and drummer Don Blum, the Von Bondies' other founding member, have taken their music to new places while holding on to the core values they've always exhibited. Love, Hate and Then There's You picks up from the tighter, more nuanced sound of the Von Bondies' huge 2004 hit single 'C'mon C'mon'. On riff-happy tracks like first single 'Pale Bride' and the anthemic leadoff track 'This Is Our Perfect Crime,' on pounders like 'I Don't Wanna' and 'Chancer,' and on the album-closing 'Modern Saints' with its nearly ethereal intro, this is a Von Bondies with a renewed sense of purpose.
